So yea I just bought my new Pball gun and im most likely going to go play today. I was just woundering if anyone else plays or plaid. It has to be my favorite sport. Teachers you team work and communication. Great game, if you havnt plaid i suggest that you try it out you will have a blast.

i have to say, paintball is amazing if you dont mind a bit of pain, very fun firing the high powered paintball guns at people 10 feet infront of you

Not into paintball really, although I don't mind shooting at $200 airsoft rifle with laser, scope, strap etc off a roof at people though. (Of course during gameplay, not random joes on the sidewalk =P )

It's been about 5 years ago the last time I played. It's so much fun. It's funny cause I remember the last game I played. I was wearing my camo coveralls and I was ganged up on. Two guys rushed me and I gave up but no paintballs broke. :)

Regards,

Jason :)

I go every couple of months, bloody good exercise (Though quite expensive). Not quite as big here as it is in the US, but still enough places nearby. I've sampled most of the southern ones, and I'd say Skirmish Lasham is the best (Ex-RAF base, 180 acres).

Yah...paintball is great, although, I havn't gone since I got shot in the tip of my private part...guess you could say I havn't worked up the balls to go back :)

It was painful...I couldnt pee and it felt like it was on fire...definatly reccomend wearing a cup. I will be next time I go.

Oh, and I'm sure most of you have experienced this, but don't get shot in the mouth area on your facemask...when the "paint" goes through the air vents and into your mouth, it sure does taste nasty...

The cost isn't that bad... costs about the same as a round of golf including the golf cart.

All but the dark ego I bought at Special Ops Paintball for about $500-600/ea.

By the way, I need to show you my Ariakon SIM-4 R.I.S. Elite. It's my baby:
